About Kevin Marshall

Hi!

My name is Kevin Marshall. I’m a runner, adventurer, and cyclist. After college, I swore to minimize my use of automobiles. I began bicycle commuting to work through the warm, cold, wet, and dry seasons. Despite questions of my sanity from coworkers (especially during the colder months) as well as close encounters with cars, I kept pedaling onward. I hope to bring this passion and enthusiasm for cycling to my future endeavors with Bike the US for MS. It has always been one of my dreams to experience all of the United States. There is no better or a more intimate way to do this than by riding a bicycle. I look forward to cycling every mile from Yorktown, VA to San Francisco, CA!!

Multiple Sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease that inflicts the lives of many. Though there have been many advancements over past years, there is still much to learn in the battle to cure or ease the burden of those who suffer from MS. As an aspiring researcher, I can appreciate and understand the great impact and value that donations and charity offer to disease research. This is achieved from the generosity of people like you and I. ( Haha I’m sorry for sounding like a PBS commercial but it holds true)

Throughout my fundraising, I have met people with MS or knew family, friends, and others who have it. They have told experiences of struggle as well as inspiring personal triumphs. Bike the US for MS aims to serve these people and their families.

I aim to raise 1 dollar for every mile of my trans-American journey…$3,785 in all. This money will help raise awareness, support research and treatment of MS, and will also help fund projects across the United States to help facilitate independent living.

I kindly ask to contribute any amount to help in the fight of Multiple Sclerosis.

If you prefer to donate by mail, please make checks payable to "Bike the US for MS" and write my name "Kevin Marshall" on the memo line.

Checks can be mailed to:

Bike the US for MS
PO Box 10001
Blacksburg, VA 24062

Also, for every dollar raised that a contributor puts a “!” in their comments, I will cycle each of those miles wearing a tie(possibly bowtie)!
